Sorry about your car OP but like many have said, at least it's a lease so that's one less headache. Looks like it's totaled so that should take the sting out of it a bit.
Not sure where you are in NJ but I live in NJ as well in a fairly affluent town.
Car thefts are so common that hardly a month goes by without an alert from the PD to lock cars and keep valuables out of sight.
Thankfully you didn't encounter the thief in the middle of it. A year or two ago, a family was returning from vacation late at night - they pulled into their driveway and while unloading their Range Rover, couple of guys jumped out of a car with guns. Held one of the children at gunpoint while demanding keys to the car they were driving as well as another in the garage. They gave them keys and their money and the guys took off. Luckily nobody was physically hurt - emotionally without a doubt.
